Reply #5: Come home dead or wounded, OK. Come home in one piece, get deported..... [View All]

"...But then you've got the U.S. Army.

It's poised to discharge a combat veteran because he's an illegal alien, which in turn means he could be kicked out of the service and then deported.

Juan Escalante was just 4 years old when his family illegally came to the United States...Juan went to school here. At 18, he joined the Army, using a fake Green Card. He's just come home after having served 4 months over in Iraq...

Please remember, in the early days of fighting in Iraq, two non-citizens who joined the Army were among the first killed in the war.

They've since been granted citizenship. Posthumously. I guess the way the government thinks about citizenship, Pvt. Juan Escalante would be better off dead. "
